Designed to cater to your every need, the 2024 Tundra is versatile enough to handle any task, whether it's daily commutes, hauling heavy loads, or tackling rugged terrain. Let's take a closer look at what's new and exciting with the 2024 Toyota Tundra, available at Freeman Toyota in Santa Rosa, California. 

What's New?

Before we dive into the details, let's address the elephant in the room — the 2024 Toyota Tundra looks different. Indeed, the Toyota Tundra sees several cosmetic and package updates for 2024, giving this reliable beast a fresh and modern appeal. The TRD Off-Road package is now available on the Platinum Grade. It includes black mirror caps, a black grille with color-keyed surround, badging, window surrounds, and over fenders, along with black and body-color door handles, giving it an edgier, more aggressive look.

The Nightshade package, renowned for its sleek, all-black accents, now extends its reach to the Limited Grade. It lends a sense of sophistication to the already luxurious Limited trim and is sure to turn heads wherever you go. In addition, the full-size 12.3-inch digital instrument panel is now standard on the Limited, enhancing the truck's tech-forward approach. 

The head-up display, previously exclusive to the Platinum and 1794 Grades with the load-leveling air suspension, is now offered as a standalone option. Additionally, a factory 3-inch lift kit is now available on all models except the TRD Pro, which features its own unique suspension setup. 

These upgrades are just the tip of the iceberg — there's a lot to love about the 2024 Tundra. So buckle up as we take a deeper dive into what makes this truck stand out from the rest. 

Trims and Prices

Step into the world of unmatched versatility with seven distinct trims of the 2024 Toyota Tundra: the SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro, and the top-tier Capstone. Each trim not only underscores Toyota's commitment to quality and reliability but also offers a unique blend of features and capabilities tailored to your individual needs and taste.

Whether you're drawn to the budget-friendly SR or the lavishly equipped Capstone, the 2024 Tundra lineup offers something for everyone. With prices starting as low as $39,965 MSRP and capping at a modest $78,845 MSRP, you can enjoy unbeatable value at every level. 

Engine and Performance: A Symphony of Power

Under the hood, the standard engine is a mighty 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6. This beast churns out 348 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque in the base SR model. In all other trims, the same ferocious engine's power figures are pumped up to an impressive 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Both versions come mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission that impresses with its firm, well-timed shifts. Whether you're accelerating hard or hauling a heavy load, the Tundra assures you of endless power. 

For those seeking a green alternative without compromising on performance, the 2024 Tundra also offers a hybrid variant. The hybrid setup pairs the standard engine with an electric motor, boosting the output to a whopping 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. This extra power and torque translate into effortless highway merging and easy towing, even on steep inclines. The 2024 Toyota Tundra, with its potent powertrain, reaffirms that it's not just a pretty face but also a formidable performer in the full-size truck segment. 

Towing Capabilities: Taking the Load off Your Mind

Boasting a maximum tow rating of 12,000 pounds and a maximum payload of 1,940 pounds, the Tundra is more than capable of handling your toughest jobs. It comes equipped with two Tow/Haul modes. The standard mode fine-tunes throttle response for lighter loads, while the Tow/Haul+ mode is engineered to handle larger loads, such as trailers or RVs.

To further aid in your towing endeavors, the Tundra features advanced technology, such as cameras with multiple views, power-extending and -folding tow mirrors, and an available air suspension system for rear load leveling. 

Interior and Tech: A Haven of Comfort and Convenience

High-quality materials lend the interior of the 2024 Toyota Tundra a modern and attractive vibe, even in the lower trims. The spacious interior is designed to accommodate five occupants. Good headroom and legroom ensure that even the tallest riders won't feel cramped. The accommodations are just as generous in the rear, with seating for three in the double cab. However, for those in need of extra legroom, the crew cab is the way to go, offering more space and improved access via two full-sized rear doors. 

When it comes to tech, the 2024 Tundra doesn't disappoint. The standard infotainment system comes equipped with an 8-inch touch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, three USB ports, AM/FM/SiriusXM, navigation, and Wi-Fi connectivity. For those after a more indulgent experience, optional features include a 14-inch touch screen, a premium 12-speaker JBL audio system, and wireless charging. 

Safety Features: An Extra Layer of Protection

The 2024 Toyota Tundra comes equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 bundle, a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to keep you and your passengers secure on the road. This bundle includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, lane departure alert with steering assist, full-speed dynamic radar cruise control, lane-tracing assist, and road-sign assist. Additionally, parking support with rear cross-traffic alert comes standard on all trims. For even more peace of mind, you can opt for blind-spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert with trailer detection.
